Salty Puppy (Non-Alcoholic)

This is the virgin version of the Salty Dog with grapefruit, salt and vodka. Just leave out the vodka and add a little sugar to that salt rim and you have a refreshing grapefruit cocktail that looks like the real deal when you are drinking it at a bar. And that is the whole point of mocktails, isn't it? Getting something that looks and feels like an alcoholic beverage when you can't have alcohol, whether you are the designated driver, underage, or just trying to be healthy.

• grapefruit juice (fresh squeezed is a real treat)
• salt 
• sugar
• grapefruit slice (lime wedge if you don't have fresh grapefruit) 

Combine salt and sugar on a plate and wet the rim of a Collins glass with grapefruit juice. Dip the glass rim into the salt and sugar mixture to coat the rim. Fill with ice and grapefruit juice. Garnish with fruit.
